ROWING

The Rowing Championships have been an important feature of the GPS sporting calendar for almost as long as the Association has been in existence and includes the celebrated annual “Head of the River” race for 1st VIII crews.

Lake Wyaralong, near Beaudesert, provides a spectacular backdrop for the full GPS regatta season. We are pleased to partner with Rowing Queensland in the conduct of regattas and the use of Rowing Manager for entries, scheduling of races, draws and results.
